Available in both internal and external modules, EcoCoolers provide a natural, safe and simple alternative to air conditioning for large areas or data centres. EcoCooling says users can reduce cooling costs by up to 90% using this natural alternative to traditional refrigeration-based cooling.

Grundfos reports that it has produced more than 1,000,000 of its MAGNA3 intelligent, high-efficiency circulators since they were introduced five years ago. The circulators are suitable for a range of projects that involve heating, cooling, ground source heat pump systems and domestic hot water applications.

The Gas Appliances Directive (GAD) is changing. From 21st April 2018 all products in the market must comply with the new Gas Appliances Regulation (GAR). Nick Winton, divisional manager for Nortek Global HVAC UK explains more.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring instruments from PPM Technology give a visual representation of IAQ in a building. Units may be networked to show precise changes in the concentration of selected IAQ gases over time for an entire building.

Aimteq has installed a Schneider BMS (building management system) at a new Defence Logistics Centre for BAE Systems in Lancashire. The project, awarded to Aimteq by Murray Building Services, provides easy and precise control of functions such as domestic hot water, radiant heating and the cold store used for carbon fibre material.

EcoCooling direct evaporative cooling can be used as an alternative to air conditioning in most industrial buildings and server rooms, and is said to provide 90% energy savings at a fraction of the capital cost of a traditional air conditioning or ventilation system.

When top flight steak restaurant Porter & Rye opened in Glasgow an influx of cold air every time the door opened was definitely not on the menu. Airbloc was called in to provide a HVAC solution that would keep draughts at bay and ensure a comfortable environment for diners.

Global humidifier specialist, the Condair Group, has opened its newly built production, logistics and sales facility in Hamburg, Germany, marking a milestone in the company’s development. The state-of-the-art 13,000m² building centralises Condair’s European manufacturing operations, previously carried out in four regions across the continent.

Are you worried about unbearable conditions in your factory or warehouse this summer? If so, EcoCooling can provide simple, safe and low cost evaporative cooling and ventilation solutions which, it says can deliver up to 90% savings on cooling costs

Condair, formerly JS Humidifiers, has developed an app that determines how much energy could be saved by using in-duct exhaust air evaporative cooling and a heat recovery system, rather than just traditional compressor driven cooling.

Evaporative cooling is a low energy alternative to refrigeration and is said to run on less than 10% of the energy. It uses the natural process of evaporation to cool air as part of a ventilation system rather than compressors or refrigerants. Its low capital and operating cost make it suitable for a variety of environments.

When optimising the efficiency and performance of heating systems in factories and warehouses it makes sense to take advantage of the latest technologies. Stuart Parris, general sales manager with Powrmatic, explains

Combining destratification with warm air heating can result in significant energy savings for buildings with high roofs, says Stuart Parris, general sales manager of Powrmatic. Here, he discusses the design considerations

HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems can devour more electricity than anything else in commercial premises, but how can you measure and control these costs? Advanced Engineering considers the question and outlines a solution

Hot factory, non-compliant warehouse, unbearable conditions on the mezzanine – all are common complaints from factory managers and their workforce – but what can be done about it that will not break the bank or get rejected by the finance department? Alan Beresford, technical and managing director at EcoCooling offers some suggestions

There are very few investment decisions that will affect a business’ bottom line costs for the next 10 to 20 years. Replacing the boiler is one, so Keith Higginson, commercial marketing manager at Calor Gas takes a look at some of the options available when installing an off-mains gas heating system.

Fan coil technology has made great advances in the last five years, particularly with respect to EC motors and the efficiency benefits they bring. However, Peter Lowther, chair of Ability Projects, says most fan coils currently installed in UK buildings are related to relatively inefficient AC previous product generations

Rob Shuttleworth, chief executive of UKLPG, the trade association for the liquefied petroleum gas industry, explains that when it comes to industrial environments, which could be in rural or off-grid locations, LP Gas offers a convenient, versatile, low carbon and easy-to-install energy source, which can also complement existing renewable infrastructure.

According to the Carbon Trust, heating rooms and hot water can account for up to 60% of total energy usage in a business premises. Inefficient ventilation can result in around 30% heat loss in many commercial buildings, and air conditioning can increase energy consumption and associated carbon emissions by up to 100%. Richard Metcalfe, sales director at ICS Cool Energy, explains some of the technologies that can improve energy efficiency

2014 is a critical year for any business still operating air conditioning or refrigeration equipment designed to use the refrigerant gas HCFC R22, as from 1st January 2015 this refrigerant will be banned throughout Europe and can no longer be legally used for service and maintenance purposes.Mike Nankivell, marketing director of Space Air, comments

With a relationship that stretches back more than 20 years, Trend Control Systems has played a key role in helping Jaguar Land Rover achieve significant energy savings and meet its sustainability based objectives.

Mike Nankivell, marketing director of Daikin distributor, Space Airconditioning, chairs the HEVAC Air Conditioning Plenary Committee and is Vice President of the Heat Pump Association. He is closely involved with industry regulation and legislation. Here he explains what legal requirements are likely to impact our readers in 2011
